As part of Our Land Festival 2016, join us for a cycle tour of the east end that explores Glasgow’s industrial past, wasteland ecologies and community empowerment. The trip will include a visit to Baltic Street Adventure Playground. There will be opportunities for drawing, writing, visioning and conversation about the kind of Glasgow we'd like to see. Soil City is a long term project initiated by Open Jar Collective, to reimagine the city as if soil matters. For more info go to: www.soilcity.org.uk

Meeting outside the People's Palace at 11am, the tour will involve a gentle cycle on roads and riverside paths, with a number of stops along the way, covering a total distance of approximately 8 miles, returning to Glasgow Green by 3pm. All participants must be proficient at cycling, bring their own bike and helmet. Children 12 years and over who are confident cyclists are welcome to join too. You'll also need to bring a packed lunch, suitable clothing and waterproofs. Hot refreshments provided. Further details of the cycle route coming soon.

If you're interested in learning more about the possibilities offered by the Community Empowerement (Scotland) Act, there's another Our Land event at 4pm in Dennistoun hosted by MP Anne McLaughlin: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/our-land-festival-community-empowerment-with-anne-mclaughlin-mp-tickets-27250867077
